So is this publisher trying to get readers to buy more e-books instead of physical copies? In case they didn't realize it, digitized documents last forever vs. having to go out and buy a product that will only last for 2 months and is probably more expensive than the e version. And while not all countries have tablets or nooks yet, they do have adobe acrobat reader, at the very least.]]>Asshat?https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120621/01282619409/why-do-people-who-always-ask-us-to-respect-artists-seem-to-have-so-little-respect-artists.shtml#c299

Oh, game developers. Are you going to go the way of the legacy entertainment industry? Here is the thing; if someone with limited disposable income (90% of us) is given the choice to spend the $25 on a used game (and possibly purchase additional DLC for that used title) or pay full price for the title new, they will buy the used game. Now, lets take away the $25 dollar option. The gamer's options are:
1.) Pay the full price, $60, plus on disk DLC or day 1 DLC that you purchase for extra or whatever bullshit the devs put on there.
-or-
2.)Pirate it (no DLC sales, no game sale).

WWJD? Option 2. ;)]]>https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120423/01452218599/bands-ex-manager-accuses-reddit-profiting-piracy-debate-with-co-founder.shtml#c1284

I agree, that the government/ISPs cannot protect such a lucrative storehouse of data. They can't even keep their government websites from being taken down on a whim.
Who will pay to implement such a system? ISPs, who will then pass the cost on to the customer?
And what is the next step? Lamar Smith would want authorities to have unlimited access to these databases, but only when it is "absolutely necessary". And by "absolutely necessary" I mean whenever his legacy industry masters need information on people that are possibly infringing on content. Lamar Smith may come at his and the RIAA/MPAA's agenda at different angles, but the agenda remains the same.]]>https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120221/03323417826/techdirt-deemed-harmful-to-minors-germany.shtml#c783
